    • getUltiToolsNewestVersion

      public static String getUltiToolsNewestVersion()
      Get the newest version of UltiTools from the remote API.

      Returns null when the catalogue answers with an error status, a body without a data.version, or a body that cannot be read, and when it cannot be reached; this contract is unchanged as of 6.3.0. The start-up update check uses lookUpUltiToolsNewestVersion() instead, which tells those failures apart from a version.

      Returns:
      the newest UltiTools version string, or null

    • lookUpUltiToolsNewestVersion

      @Internal public static VersionLookup lookUpUltiToolsNewestVersion()
      Looks up the newest UltiTools version and says whether the lookup established anything (Phase 19, D19-032). VersionLookup.Outcome.FOUND carries the version exactly as getUltiToolsNewestVersion() returns it; every case that method answers with null is VersionLookup.Outcome.FAILED here, because the catalogue always names a newest version when it answers normally.

      An exception thrown while asking (for example a class that can no longer be loaded while the plugin is disabling) propagates, exactly as it does from getUltiToolsNewestVersion().

      Returns:
      the lookup's outcome, never null
      Since:
      6.3.0
